SVM-CreatorX4.ps1

After posting a script
to dismantle lab SVMs, it’s only right that my next post is a script to build
SVMs!

This script builds up a lab of 4 SVMs, with LIF, DNS,
CIFS, NFS, and Vserver Peering. It’s probably a pretty unique lab setup requirement,
but nicely demonstrates the constructive power of the Data ONTAP PowerShell
toolkit. As always with scripts like these, you’re left thinking there’s so
much more potential - like having an Excel Spreadsheet that the script can read
to automate and standardize the construction for any requirement - alas that’s
going to have to be for another day.
